Comments:  Primitivo off to a good start and looking approximately 3 weeks till harvest.  Tempranillo a little disappointing on the brix and showing relatively low acid typical for the varietal, also about 3 weeks out.  Random cluster samples taken from entire primitivo and tempranillo blocks, respectively.  Brix measurements by refractometry this season.
